Nikole Hannah-Jones mocked for claiming Europe 'not a continent,' calling Ukraine alarm a racial 'dog whistle'

Nikole Hannah-Jones was mocked by critics for falsely claiming that Europe was "not a continent," and that concerns over the invasion of Ukraine amounted to a racial "dog whistle."

"What if I told you Europe is not a continent by definition [sic], but a geopolitical fiction to separate it from Asia and so the alarm about a European, or civilized, or First World nation being invaded is a dog whistle to tell us we should care because they are like us," Hannah-Jones, who uses the name "Ida Bae Wells" on the platform, wrote.
